Spatial dispersion in Casimir forces: a brief review
We present the basic principles of non-local optics in connection with the calculation of the Casimir force between half-spaces and thin films. At currently accessible distances L, non-local corrections amount to about half a per cent, but they increase roughly as 1/L at smaller separations. Self-consistent models lead to corrections with the opposite sign as models with abrupt surfaces. PACS n...

متن کاملSOME POINTS ON CASIMIR FORCES
Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...
متن کاملCasimir forces in a T-operator approach
We explore the scattering approach to Casimir forces. Our main tool is the description of Casimir energy in terms of transition operators. The approach is valid for scalar fields as well as for electromagnetic fields. We provide several equivalent derivations of the formula presented by Kenneth and Klich Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 160401 2006 . We study the convergence properties of the formula and h...
متن کاملCasimir Forces in Chiral Metamaterials
We use the extended Lifshitz theory to study the behavior of the Casimir forces between chiral metamaterials and regular metamaterials. We have shown that the chirality, if strong enough, is of critical importance to reduce the Cassimir attractive force and can find new designs to obtain repulsive Casimir forces. We will review chiral metamaterials and find some analytical expression for the st...
